Come lay by my side little darlin´ Come lay your cool hand on my brow Promise me that you will always Be nobody´s darlin´ but mine
You´re as sweet as the flowers of springtime You´re as pure as the dew from the rose And I´d rather be somebody´s darlin´ Than a poor boy that nobody knows
Be nobody´s darlin´ but mine love Be honest be faithful be kind And promise me that you will always Be nobody´s darlin´ but mine
Goodbye little darlin´ I´m leaving I´m leaving this cold world behind So promise me that you will never Be nobody´s darlin´ but mine
